Okay, so AV1 has lower bitrate. I can encode any video format at arbitrary bitrates, but that metric is not useful on its own. An article about how AV1 requires less bits for the same or improved perceptual quality would have been far mor

Had a "people" guy at a previous employer. At every corporate social thing, he'd run around with his huge DSLR camera and take pictures to post on the company social media, to show how this is a great place to work. He was an

TFA says "port scanning attacks", but in my opinion it's not. It's barely jiggling the door knob. Securing SSH isn't hard to do properly, and port scans or connection attempts isn't something anyone needs to be

It's classic frog boiling. I want them (for whatever definition of "them") to just nuke the frog from orbit.

[Trigger warning: Old man yells at cloud.] One of countless reasons I hate doing anything on my phone. Text selection is imprecise, slow and janky. Text input is slow and error prone, and autocorrect (or predictive text) produces danish wit

Don't leave your windows open all the time. Open them for 5-10 minutes at least once a day. Heating air is cheap, it's heating all the other mass in your home that's hard, so don't let it cool down. If you live somewhere

Alt+F4 is bound to "close window" by default, so I don't know why that didn't work for you. Something I really enjoy with KDE is I can reconfigure practically all keyboard shortcuts. I use meta+(numpad+/-) to change

Define Windows-like. Windows 11 is complete insanity and nearly unusable. Windows 2000/XP is more logical and boring (the good kind). In my opinion, yes KDE is "Windows-like", but based in an era before MS devs started self m

This is fascinating, thank you. The intricacies of languages is so interesting. I especially love the insane way we danes spell out numbers. 59 == nioghalvtredssindstyve 59 == 9 [ni] + [og] ((3 [treds] - 0,5 [halv]) * [sinds] 20 [tyve]) So

This annoys me so much, and it's another reason I hate phone apps, because they do this all the time. Usually ANY error resolves to "something went wrong". I'm not expecting a stack trace, but they're too scared to

I was at a gym once that decided they wanted to do facial recognition for check-ins. I canceled my membership instantly (and told them why). Am I out of touch, or is that creepy beyond all reason?

That particular CoC is a colossal red flag that the maintainers are utterly deranged. This might actually be the worst CoC I've ever seen. Any CoC is a red flag, but people often get pressured into it, so it's a sliding scale.

I'll echo all the praise from other posters, and offer one tiny bit of criticism: I don't like the motion damping (or whatever it's called) when panning/zooming around. It feels like wading through mud. I'd prefer i
